One of the main worries with aortic valve-in-valve procedures (ViV) is coronary occlusion. This is a devastating complication with a greater than 50 percent mortality rate. This video describes a surgical alternative to the interventional Basilica procedure in a high-risk patient for ViV because of a very low coronary implantation.

This interesting video demonstrates a redo David I procedure for a thirty-year-old woman diagnosed with aortic insufficiency with bicuspid aortic valve. This case has the added layer of the patient also having had a PTA repair and reconstruction of right ventricular outflow track with a homograft when she was six.

When it comes to atrial myxoma resection, being as minimally invasive as possible is of top priority. This video presents possibly the least invasive reported atrial myxoma resection and, the authors say, the first to use an endoscopic robotic approach with an 8mm working port.
